Junior High School
Walking out of the monks' dormitory, Goumaki Ji was relieved to see that Hinata Aoi had not left, and took out his cell phone to check if there were any new messages.
The 99+ unread pages simply made him confused.
They hesitated and clicked on Tsu Miki's first - they really couldn't think of a reasonable reason to ask for leave that could deceive the observant teacher Chiba.
Teacher Chiba is too responsible, and the person who asked for leave, Gomu, is not in school yet, so Tsumiki and Sakurai have less room to maneuver. They have to contact Haibara Yu through Fushiguro Megumi and ask him to help tell a lie.
In this way, the head teacher believed it and the goal was achieved.
...Is it really achieved normally? If he had known earlier, he should have taken leave before pursuing someone!
Inujuki Ji suddenly felt something was wrong, and with trembling fingers he slid over Huihara Xiong's name and entered the family group.
His parents bombarded the group chat, asking about his whereabouts. It was said that Huiyuan Yudanxin's teacher contacted the parents to verify, and then colluded with Gojuan's mother in advance to make an excuse, so that Gojuan Ji could successfully take this leave.
They learned from Haibara Yu that Inujuki Tsutomu was following Hinata Aoi. They believed that there must be an important reason for their son to skip school, and they did not call the police because they were afraid of disturbing Inujuki's work. Moreover, Haibara Yu was already on his way to find them.
What? They're already on their way! How did Haibara-san know the location? ...Did he mobilize the Gojo family?!
After hurriedly reporting that he was safe, Goujuan immediately opened the chat box with Huihara Yu and read it carefully.
Haibara Yu has not yet informed Gojo Satoru of this situation. He asked them where they are and whether they need him to drive over to pick them up.
Because Goujuan had set his phone to silent mode and had not replied to the message, Huihara Yu set off according to the GPS location.
Yes, during the training camp, when Gojuan was fighting against the cursed spirit, Haibara Yu also installed a locator on Gojuan's phone and forgot to notify him.
...Very good, now everyone knows except Gojo-sensei. Gojuan's temples began to throb with pain.
How did it turn into a massive skipping of classes? ...It was his problem.
Fortunately, Gojo Satoru didn't know, so Goju still had a chance to survive in front of Hinata Aoi.
Now Huiyuan Xiong has driven the car to the foot of the mountain.
Gojuan collected the tent and began to persuade Huiyuan Xiong not to tell Gojo Satoru and to return the same way instead of going up the mountain. Whether being seen by Hinata Aoi or running into Geto Suguru, it would be a disaster.
After typing, we finally reached a consensus.
Huiyuan Xiong will first drive the car to a secluded place. He has both Gojuan's schoolbag and Hinata Aoi's cell phone in his hands, and needs Gojuan to return the phone to Hinata Aoi.
"Return it in person? Can you wait until tomorrow before school and put it back in her desk hole?"
"No." The other party refused firmly.
Maybe Inumaki Satoru has his own understanding of Hinata Aoi's actions, but it is a bit too much to expect them to let it go without explaining it to them clearly.
A junior high school student calmly made up a lie, deceived the teacher, left school, avoided being located, and went to such a far place alone. What if an accident happened?
It's not just a matter of special protection. If an ordinary junior high school student does something like this, the police will be called and looking for him, right?
Even if Gojuanji follows you all the way, it's not possible.
and......
"It may be cruel to say this, but have you forgotten that you are on a mission?"
"I arranged for you to go to a regular junior high school to protect Xiao Kui, not to help her hide from us."
"If you can't complete the task seriously, then focus on training." There will be someone else to protect Xiaokui.
That's really cruel...
Goujuan lowered his hands dejectedly and watched the girl who was still kneeling in front of the tombstone take out her lunch box and place it as an offering. He didn't waste any more time and ran down the mountain to get his cell phone.
*
Hinata Aoi didn't bring any offerings, so she placed the lunch box in front of the tombstone as a sacrifice for a while, then picked it up and ate it bite by bite.
Although talking could not eliminate her troubles, it did help her understand some things.
Nothing new happened, no new setbacks arose, she just finally saw her life clearly - living in a cage that she had carefully built.
After venting, the brain is freed from emotional pain and turns to studying the metaphysical essence.
Why is the original intention "right" but the path "wrong"? If there is a result, shouldn't there be a path to reach it?
She wanted to build a barrier to isolate herself from the world of spells, to stay on the edge of ordinary people. Was this difficult? Was it because she lacked the necessary conditions?
Because some things are beyond her control, and some people's behavior is beyond her limited expectations...such as the person next to her.
The worship service was over and we were on the return train. In the empty carriage, no normal person would sit next to a stranger without saying a word.
He wanted to slip his phone into the bag on her lap while she was lost in thought. Such a difficult move would require hundreds or even thousands of practice to be successful.
Hinata Aoi didn't try to stop him. She was brought back to reality by Gomuki's subtle movements. She watched with her own eyes as the boy slowly put the collar back around her neck.
She knew that there were loopholes in this plan and that she might be followed by Goujuan, but she didn't have the energy to make a complete plan.
Exhausted people are always tempted to simplify steps and convince themselves that bad things will not happen, gaining false peace of mind.
The buckle on the backpack was opened by Goujuan's persistence. He pushed the phone in little by little, and it seemed that it hit a book that was in the way, so he repeatedly rubbed it up and down to avoid the obstacle and put it in.
At the moment when Goujuan was about to succeed, Hinata Aoi held his hand, and the not-so-strong restraining force held Goujuan in place.
Hinata Aoi had a blank expression on her face, but had some bad thoughts in her mind.
Just like this, when you think you are about to succeed, you fall into the abyss, and you want others to taste this pain.
But dog curl is not painful.
He was using this phone to test Hinata Aoi. He was hesitating so much that he wanted to be caught doing something bad, so that Hinata Aoi would pay attention to him and not pretend not to see him like she did in the morning.
He was afraid that Hinata Aoi would no longer pay attention to him.
The two of them were in a stalemate, Goujuan's fingers gripping the phone, half in his schoolbag and half hanging in the air. Hinata Aoi's hand was firmly wrapped around the back of Goujuan's hand, and neither of them made any further moves, as if they had pressed the pause button.
Some were indulging in this rare harmony, but the world couldn't stop at this moment. Goujuan lowered his voice and said:
"Talk to me."
Hinata Aoi didn't answer, took the phone from Gojuan and put it in her schoolbag.
*
Thanks to Tsu Miki and Sakurai for putting his lunch box safely into his schoolbag, Gojumaki took Hinata Aoi to sit on the swing in the park and soothed his growling stomach with rice balls.
Hinata Aoi was in no mood to swing leisurely, as if she was saving energy. She had lost the ability to make expressions and was staring blankly at the pond not far away.
Not knowing how to start the conversation naturally, Goujuan packed up his lunch box and was so troubled that he started scratching his hands. His eyes fell on Hinata Aoi's profile and he couldn't look away.
"...I'm sorry, Haibara-san installed a GPS in my phone...but Gojo-san doesn't know what happened today."
A few hours ago, he was still begging Haibara Yu not to go up the mountain to avoid being exposed, but now he opened his mouth and told everything in detail. His self-destructive remarks, which hurt himself before hurting the enemy, really attracted Hinata Aoi to turn around.
"Do you want me to hate you?"
"Ah?" Goujuan covered his mouth.
He was just thinking about not lying to Hinata Aoi and overdrawing his reputation. Who said "Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon"? It turns out that it applies to all situations!
"...Please don't hate me?" He pleaded weakly, somewhat afraid to look into Hinata Aoi's emotionless eyes, as if he was facing a cruel beast.
I continued stubbornly:
"I can also help Hinata with some of the burden. If you have any ideas, you can tell me. Maybe I can help."
"Can you help me..." Hinata Aoi looked at Inumaki Satoru's face carefully, and saw the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth from his clear eyes.
What was this sorcerer talking about? He was the first big trouble she encountered.
In her plan, the person who felt the most sorry was Hinatako.
Because she is her adoptive mother, she will be the first one to be implicated if something happens, so she feels particularly guilty and wants her adoptive mother to have a good child that can make her proud.
Especially when she was in elementary school, she was in contact with Ms. Hinata 24 hours a day. Under the interpersonal pressure from all around her, she changed her attitude and got along well with Gojumma...and they have been getting along with her until now.
If it weren't for Inugami Saki, her heart would have been even colder and harder now. Maybe she would have been so cold and hard that she could have pretended to be indifferent and disgusted in front of Kuroo and not have to worry about it here.
"No matter how I think about it, it's all your fault, Inumaki Saki."
A storm seemed to be brewing in those golden pupils, and the oppressive darkness made Goujuan's heart skip a beat.
"You don't have to care about me so much." It was as if he made her the center of his life, sacrificing his time, his daily life, and even his brain for her.
Why can you treat wholeheartedly someone who doesn’t look good to you at the beginning?
"If saving my life is the main reason, I almost killed you, so that has already offset it."
So no one would say anything if I just gave up on her.
Goujuan tightly grasped the chain on the swing, feeling mixed emotions.
Just as he had worried about when he first entered junior high school, this day finally came.
But he was also happy that Hinata Aoi still acknowledged his efforts under such circumstances and gave him the opportunity to open his heart.
There was no excuse for his original motive. Now he was even more confused and couldn't figure out why he wanted to be nice to Hinata Aoi.
Maybe it's because every day with Hinata Aoi is like a fairy tale. No logic, no reality, it just makes you feel good and happy.
If I have to say the reason:
"...you treat me better than I ever did to you."
There were so many sweet memories that Goujuan rubbed his hot ears.
Feeling embarrassed to listen to Hinata Aoi praising him again, Gojuan suddenly got the courage:
"Is it because of my identity as a sorcerer that Hinata is in trouble?"
"I'm sorry, this is my mission. Can you please forget this? Forget who I am, forget who they are, and erase this part from your memory."
"Gojo-san is my teacher who taught me how to exercise, just like Yamamoto-san who taught us parkour."
"Forget all of this, or rationalize it away. We all hope that Hinata can have an ordinary and normal daily life."
So they are not on the opposite side and will not affect her.
Don't push him away, okay?
